The Property

Holly Bank is a beautiful stone-built detached property that has been renovated and updated to an exceptional standard. The original character of the property has been thoughtfully blended with superb contemporary interiors, using elegant muted colour palettes and clean, modern lines to create a relaxing atmosphere throughout. The property further benefits from an integral double garage and gorgeous gardens, all set in a wonderful elevated position with panoramic views across the Tyne Valley.

The front door opens from the stone portico to the welcoming entrance hall with attractive flagged flooring. The dual aspect sitting room stretches from front to rear, with a woodburning stove set on a hearth beneath a wooden mantel. This generous room is filled with natural light. Across the hall is the superb kitchen/dining room. The kitchen is fitted with an impressive range of bespoke cabinetry and a central island with solid oak worksurfaces, limestone flooring, an abundance of storage and quality appliances. Southerly views over the countryside ensure that the kitchen is a lovely place to spend time. There is space for a large dining table and chairs and the whole room is perfect for entertaining friends and family in a setting that suits modern lifestyles. The kitchen is further served by a utility room with additional sink and storage along with space for white goods. An external door opens to the rear gardens, and there is direct access to the integral double garage.

Stairs lead up to the first floor via a half landing illuminated by a tall feature window. The principal bedroom benefits from spectacular views, fitted wardrobes and a fully tiled en-suite shower room. The walk-in rainfall shower combines with high specification fixtures and fittings to deliver a luxurious feel. There are three further bedrooms, two with views across the valley and the third overlooking the gardens to the rear. These bedrooms are served by the family bathroom which continues the high standard of finish with a stylish contemporary suite comprising freestanding bath, walk-in rainfall shower, wash hand basin and WC.

Externally

Holly Bank is nestled in beautifully maintained gardens with a fabulous elevated position that makes the most of the views. A tarmacadam driveway leads up to the house and the integral double garage which is fitted with a 7kW electric vehicle charging point. There is ample space for further parking on the driveway if required. Lawns wrap around from the front to the rear, with borders filled with colourful plantings and shrubs. To one side is a greenhouse and a vegetable plot is tucked away in the top corner of the garden. Sheltering mature trees provide privacy and even more colour, while the glorious open views sweep away across magnificent Northumberland countryside.
